Mumbai, Jan 29 (NationPress) Renowned director and choreographer Ahmed Khan has collaborated with numerous prominent figures in the film industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. He recently recounted a touching story from the shooting of the song "Chaand Taare" in the 1997 movie "Yes Boss" alongside King Khan.

Reflecting on the filming of the song on the streets of Bandstand, Mumbai, Ahmed Khan shared, "While shooting Chaand Tare, the song held significant meaning for me, Shah Rukh Khan, Jatin Lalit, and many young participants. Javed Akhtar wrote it from the perspective of a young dreamer aspiring to achieve greatness, yet realizing it's merely Bas Itna Sa Khawab Hain. My vision for the song was to portray him as an everyday guy in Mumbai, yet with grand ambitions. We included children and various cartoon characters, and I proposed to Jatin Lalit to alter the rhythm from a double beat to a single beat, which they embraced positively."

Recalling a humorous moment from the "Chaand Taare" shoot, the choreographer remarked, "During our filming outside Mannat, which wasn’t known as Mannat back then, I asked Shah Rukh to jump onto a Parsi vehicle. Things went awry, and the guard instructed us to move along. I vividly remember Shah Rukh asking, 'Should I buy it?' I replied affirmatively, and we agreed to film there. This taught me that it's essential to speak positively, as it often leads to favorable outcomes. Even today, "Mannat" appears in the song.

Next, Ahmed Khan will embark on the final schedule of the eagerly awaited drama, "Welcome to the Jungle", with filming set to occur in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
